"Marcellvs L." - Author: Lisette Lagnado
Marcellvs L’s method is 'to dilate time'. The expression refers directly to the philosophical universe of Henri Bergson, whose important reflections on duration and intuition have frequently served as a basis for approaching the cinematic moving image. Like Cao Guimarães (see page 128-131), Marcellvs L’s videos usually feature a solitary person who walks: on the road, in water or going nowhere on a gym treadmill. In his works Marcellvs L imposes a slowness to the scene. This focus on duration is a response against what Guy Deboard termed the 'society of the spectacle'.
Conscious of our alienation in a society where we are regularly bombarded by imagery, Marcellvs L. offers a rare antidote. He produces work that expands our senses towards new perceptions through emphasizing the body. His works maintain an undecipherable enunciation that requires patience, waiting and an awareness of clues. Absract still images appear at first to be isolated from any reality, but the effort of remaining involved is vigorously rewarded. Very different from the Beckettian absurd form of Marcellvs strategy consists in delaying the delivery of pleasure and comprehension. When his works reach their conclusion, they invoke the Kantian sense of the sublime.
Marcellvs L is interested in the act of preparing a delay - 'time that doesn't go by', in the psychoanalytical sense. He constructs a place of reverie and escape. With the diaphragm of his camera either nearly closed,

When his works reach their conclusion, they invoke the Kantian sense of the sublime.
Marcellvs L is interested in the act of preparing a delay - 'time that doesn't go by', in the psychoanalytical sense. He constructs a place of reverie and escape. With the diaphragm of his camera either nearly closed,
or wide open - suggesting claustrophobia or agoraphobia - he allows only a detail of the detail to be seen. This minimal information fills the screen and becomes maximal, although it also maximises our perplexity. Having lost any reference to an overall totality that might revert to representation, our gaze is overcome by a sort of haunting. The viewer’s mind is projected towards infinity and fails to find any point to hold on to. The only fixed thing, the camera records the world as it spins. This radical vertigo plunges us into an abyss. It is a controlled descent, nevertheless. The smoke-like sensation momentarily blinds us. Little by little, very gradually, each of Marcellvs L’s films reveals clarity. The appearnace of this clarity emerges in such scenes as an encounter with a horse in the street in front of a health club. It appears to be faked by the artist, yet these are real encounters.
With this sort of shift in reading the work to a reduced narrative, Guimarães, no longer serves as model for Marcellvs L. While Guimarães dominates the narrative voice, Marcellvs L seeks to structure the slow passage from unconsciousness to reality like the resistance against awakening in order not to lose a dream. Both artists live in the mountainous region of Belo Horizonte, and each brings to the city the freshness of a new form of moving imagery.

Ouverture – Marcellvs L.
by Rodrigo Moura
For a number of years, Marcellvs L.’s first video works only circulated from hand-to-hand, via DVD copies produced by the artist himself. Since that time and still today, the artist sends these copies by mail to addresses randomly chosen in the telephone book. The method he uses to title these works is likewise a throw of the dice, the same one he employs to select the addresses that will receive the videos – an open and independent strategy that has a lot to say about his economy of means. “VideoRhizomes” is the title the artist gave to this ongoing series initiated in 2002. The imponderability of time and its political implications seem to be the primary motives behind Marcellvs L.’s works as well as their original mode of circulation.
“Independence means urgency”, the artist once said to me. This means that he often shoots his video alone, using a high-definition portable camera. Once on site, as in the best cinéma verité tradition, the artist captures somewhat mysterious scenes in which lonesome characters are experientially confronted with the passage of time in big cities or in the countryside. In other pieces images come from intriguing shots of the landscape. For Marcellvs L., being on site is a significant part of the work, a process that often results in the unexpected, because in seeking one thing he sometimes ends up finding another. In almost all his videos, there is, however, a radical transformation of the real in the way the images are captured. This could be on account of where the camera finds itself in relation to the scenes (either very close or very

In other pieces images come from intriguing shots of the landscape. For Marcellvs L., being on site is a significant part of the work, a process that often results in the unexpected, because in seeking one thing he sometimes ends up finding another. In almost all his videos, there is, however, a radical transformation of the real in the way the images are captured. This could be on account of where the camera finds itself in relation to the scenes (either very close or very
far away) or on account of a highly charged pictorial presence.
Despite the resources of digital post-production, it is by the way the
camera reads the world that his videos create personal and outstanding
vision of the real. His moving images are hypnotic mirages directly
captured from the world, mediated by radical camera filters: either
highly grained or pixilated monochrome renderings that, at times,
literally dissolve before the lens.
In one of his first videos 0314 (2002), images of rain falling on a roof are slowly revealed in high-contrast black-and-white (recorded with colour), producing a happenstance graphic quality as the sound becomes violently louder and louder. For his works, post-production of sound is also key, in collaboration with sound artist João Marcelo. In another video, 0667 (2003), a man is depicted slowly walking down a road, while cars continue on in high speed in the lane across from him. It is only just recently that his work has begun to circulate in the art world, notably in the last São Paulo Biennial, where it was prominently presented, or in a solo show in his home town Belo Horizonte’s Museu de Arte da Pampulha, where a compilation of more than 2 hours was screened on a loop, featuring more than 10 videos. In his more recent works, like the video-installation ebbing.flowing (2006), also shown at the São Paulo’s Biennial, a spatial-sensorial aspect is stressed, indicating new and more complex

In his more recent works, like the video-installation ebbing.flowing (2006), also shown at the São Paulo’s Biennial, a spatial-sensorial aspect is stressed, indicating new and more complex
possibilities for the
relation between camera and projection. In this two-channels
synchronized video installation, images of a boat on a beach are taken
from another boat while the ocean simultaneously ebbs and flows in each
of the screens. What interests the artist here is the loss of stable
ground and the sublimation of the tripod: suggestively shooting to the
sensibility of the moving waves. Finally, as he said, “However minor it
may seem, every aesthetic act is both political and ethical.”
